Passing parameters to a client function - noobie

Hi,  I have a function at the server side that loads an XML  and makes a photo/link  array from it. 

I want to pass this array to the clients swf to use it for a photoGallery.

can you please give me and exmaple for the Client and server side that will send the array = [1,2,3,4]  to the client and trace it at the client side?

(the clients' function dosnt' return anything)
